Beaver Bank

The family of Goldie Carter regret to announce the passing of their loved one on Saturday, May 6th , 2023.

 Goldie was born in North Sydney to the late Charles and Elizabeth (Fricker) Gale on February 5 th,1929.

At 18, Goldie moved to Framingham, Mass. with her late husband William Carter. She was employed at Sears & Robuck in Natick, Mass until retirement. While there Goldie enjoyed each and every visit from all of her Canadian family and friends. She enjoyed clogging with the Framingham Cloggers, bowling, lawn bowling, gardening, and taking weekend trips to New York and Plum Island Beach in Maine. She made many lifetime friends there before moving back to Beaverbank, NS where she resided with her niece Laurie (Marinelli) husband Russell MacNeil, and their daughters Erin and Kristin for the past eighteen years. During her time here she enjoyed attending her great nieces’ sports activities, walking Rudi (the baby), bowling, playing cards, traveling with the senior’s club to places like Ireland, Nashville, Maine, PEI, and their monthly Casino trips to Moncton.

Goldie always looked forward to spending time at the cottage with her nephew Lou (Brenda) Marinelli and visiting the rest of the family. Goldie had a great sense of humor and was game for anything.

Goldie was predeceased by her loving husband William Carter, her sisters Greta Moore and Marie Marinelli, brothers, John, George (Jigger), Elmer (Ick), and Eric (Turk) Gale.  She is survived by her brother Dennis of Glace Bay and many nieces and nephews.
